    The Best Pulled Pork Casserole

    If pulled pork sandwiches are your favorite thing on the menu at your local BBQ spot, then just wait until you try this delicious pulled pork casserole recipe!

    It's honestly way better than any sandwich you can get, and it's loaded with so much flavor. I mean, this dish is chock-full of tender, shredded pork, sweet, tangy BBQ sauce, a mix of veggies, and hash browns. Then, all of that gets covered in shredded cheese and baked to golden brown deliciousness. It's a little savory, a little smoky, a little sweet, and a whole 'lotta yummy!

    Anyway, you probably know by now I'm a huge fan of easy casseroles, and one of the reasons I can't get enough of this pulled pork casserole recipe is that it's so, so simple to make. All you have to do is combine the ingredients in a couple of bowls, add them to a casserole dish, top the whole thing with cheese, and bake. You don't even have to defrost your hash browns, just pull them out of the freezer and toss 'em in.

    I know it sounds too good to be true, but it really is that easy. The whole thing will take you about 45 minutes from start to finish, with the majority of the time spent baking the casserole. And, remember, just 5 minutes of that is active cooking/prepping.

    Also, since this recipe is such a breeze to make, you'll have plenty of time to whip up a side dish to go along with it. I personally love to serve it with this sweet potato cornbread and these savory turnip greens.

    Ingredients

    Now, the ingredient list for this pulled pork casserole recipe is also super simple. In fact, I'm willing to be you already have most - if not all - of them at home already!

    Anyway, here's what you'll need to make this pulled pork casserole recipe:

    • ¾ lb. cooked pulled pork (or leftover pulled pork)
    • ¾ cup BBQ Sauce
    • 1 ½ cup Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
    • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
    • 1 cup corn
    • ½ red onion, diced
    • ½ green bell pepper, diced
    • Salt and Pepper
    • Parsley, for garnish

    Pretty simple stuff, right?

    By the way, you can actually use a lot of these ingredients to make this chicken hashbrown casserole as well. So if you end up with some extras of them, you might want to try that casserole out next!

    Ingredient Substitutions And Suggestions

    While I recommend making this pulled pork casserole with the ingredients listed above, there are plenty of ways to switch up this recipe to make it your own. With that said, I'll go over some of my favorites below.

    Switch Up The Cheese

    Now, of course, this recipe calls for Colby jack cheese - I think it just adds the best cheesy flavor to the casserole - but any shredded cheese will work great. If I don't have any Colby jack cheese at home, then sometimes I'll use cheddar cheese or even a combination of cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese for a little spice.

    Experiment With Add-Ons

    When it comes to possible add-ons, I usually keep it simple and serve my casserole with a little sour cream or just garnish the whole thing with fresh green onions.

    That said, you could also serve your casserole with tortilla chips for dipping or warm corn tortillas to make some juicy pulled pork tacos.

    By the way, this recipe calls for premade pulled pork. I usually just use leftover pulled pork from the night before. If you don't have any leftover shredded pork though, then you can buy pre-cooked pork to save time when you're ready to make this casserole recipe.

    How To Make Pulled Pork Casserole

    As I mentioned earlier, it could not be easier to make this pulled pork casserole.

    All you have to do is a little mixing and then just bake the casserole in the oven - there's really no cooking on your part! Plus, the whole entire process of making it comes down to following just 3 simple steps. 

    Anyway, let's stop wasting time and make this BBQ casserole recipe!

    White bowl filled with shredded hash browns, diced onion, diced bell peppers, corn, and shredded cheese. Next to the bowl is a white baking dish filled with pulled pork, a small dish of green onions, and a bowl of shredded cheese.

    Step 1: Prep Work

    First things first, you'll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (180ºC) and then prep a baking dish with some nonstick cooking spray.

    Next, take out a large bowl and mix together the cooked shredded pork with the BBQ sauce of your choice. Then, grab a second bowl, and mix together half of the shredded cheese, frozen hashbrowns, corn, onion, and green bell pepper in it.

    Step 2: Assemble And Bake The Casserole

    Once all of your ingredients are fully mixed together, transfer the pulled pork mixture to the prepared baking dish, and then top it with the hashbrown mixture. You could even mix the pulled pork with the veggies and hashbrowns and transfer the combined mixture to the baking dish if you want to. I just like giving it layers.  

    Now that you've assembled your casserole, you can evenly cover it with the remaining cheese and bake it for 25 minutes - or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.

    Step 3: Serve The Casserole

    When the casserole is done baking, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

    Then, finally, you can serve your finished casserole on a plate with fresh parsley, some sour cream, and anything else you want. Enjoy!

    How To Store Pulled Pork Casserole

    This recipe for pulled pork casserole makes about 6 servings, so it's the perfect casserole to feed a big hungry family or eat as leftovers throughout the week.

    Speaking of leftovers, you can just transfer them to an airtight container and store 'em in the fridge. Stored this way, your pulled pork casserole should last in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Just keep in mind that the time you can keep the casserole depends on if you're using pulled pork made that day or leftover pulled pork. 

    Alternatively, if you want your leftovers to last even longer, you can freeze them in an airtight container - or freezer-safe bag - for up to 3 months.

    How to Reheat Pulled Pork Casserole

    Now, when you're ready to enjoy your pulled pork casserole again, you'll definitely want to warm it up first.

    So, to reheat the leftovers, I recommend putting them back in the casserole dish and warming them up in the oven at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    On the other hand, if you just want to reheat just a single serving of your leftovers, you can just microwave 'em. I usually just heat them in 30-second intervals until fully warmed through - about 2 minutes should do the trick.
